   How can I tell if a physical cannabis store is licensed by the province?

   The exact method depends on your province or territory, but in general you can verify a physical cannabis store in a few ways:

   1. Check the provincial regulator's official website. Most provinces maintain a searchable list or map of licensed cannabis retailers.
   2. Look for a provincial authorization number or certificate. Licensed stores are typically required to display their licence or authorization in a visible location.
   3. Ask the staff. A legitimate retailer should be able to tell you the name under which they are licensed and their licence or authorization number.
   4. Be cautious of warning signs. If a store refuses to provide licensing information, sells products without required labeling, or appears to operate outside provincial rules, it may not be licensed.

   If you tell me which Canadian province or territory you're in (for example, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, etc.), I can point you to the official provincial registry and explain exactly how to verify a store's licence.
